I was a little unsure about the longer cut from the pictures but in person it's exactly right. Not too long, more like a refined car coat length that works with everything. The black leather is genuinely high quality, soft and rich looking. What really makes the jacket is the brown trim along the zip placket and the brown collar lining, it adds warmth to what would otherwise be an all-black piece. High collar is a great design choice. Fits slim true to my size. The button-tab cuffs are a small detail but they finish the look well. I've worn this on business trips and casual evenings and it works both ways.
